French Island 279 Tankerton Road

First in, best dressed to secure this affordable slice of island paradise on approx. 3.5acres, with WATERVIEWS over Westernport Bay and NO COUNCIL RATES TO PAY!

Enjoy your weekends away from it all or make the sea-change/tree-change to your very own little hobby-farm. Located centrally and adjacent to the only shop on French Island, this property is priced to sell. A short bicycle ride to the brilliant primary school, is this modest 2 bedroom dwelling tucked beyond some beautifully established trees, at the end of the tree-lined driveway.

While planning your dream home, or just dreaming, the current dwelling provides for a comfortable and practical lifestyle, with all you need.
It may not be the Taj Mahal, but it does have two bedrooms, (one currently used as an office), a bathroom with a bath, a kitchen comprising wood-stove/slow combustion heater & hot water jacket, solar hws and a gas cooktop, a living area with a copper-canopy open fireplace and a handmade window bench-bar/breakfast bar overlooking the bay - a great way to start any day, especially relishing in the savings from the fully off-grid power system which includes solar panels, a Honda generator, a Selectronics inverter and an integrated battery bank, providing enough power to live and laugh. You can also look forward to all the additional space from your huge shed of 15m x 7.5m on full concrete slab, providing a massive enclosed area to tinker, party or create your ultimate mancave.

To enhance your self-sustainability, the garden areas have been carefully planned to provide a selection of foods so you can enjoy the fruits from your fully irrigated mini-orchard of peach, apple, mandarin, orange, lime, apricot and loquat trees, as well as the nuts from your almond trees and then there are the veggies from your fully netted & irrigated vegetable garden. You can even collect eggs from your chicken coup, overall, saving you loads off your grocery bill.

This well established property, also has over 22,000 litres of rainwater storage and a separately fenced dam and paddock for the 5 resident "lawnmower-sheep", also included with the property.

French Island is about an hour from Melbourne, but like stepping back in time, we are a small community of around 100 residents, accessible by passenger ferry from Stony Point, or vehicle barge from Corinella. French Island is approximately two thirds national park and is unincorporated, therefore is not governed by a local council, so no council rates apply. Being totally off the grid, means there are no power companies to deal with and no water rates to pay.
